Hi, Well, I'm wondering if the 7.01 upgrade fixed the battery issues? I've had rapid drops in the battery gauge, and was told yesterday that if I send my unit in next week as I planned to do, the fix could not be implemented yet. But if it's implemented in 7.01, then I'd be set? I saw reference to battery conditioning improvements, but I don't recall that being elaborated upon. Meanwhile, as I use the unit, I'm monitoring the battery gauge. It's too soone for me to tell if the rapid drop I experienced before will occur, so far, it has not. Can anybody shed light on what 7.01 has done to address battery issues? Thanks.
